The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

For most of the past half a month, Lu Bu and Yuwen Chengdu have been waiting a little anxiously, and when they were discussing matters in the army several times, they put forward a request to go to war.

Of course, they were all rejected by Li Cunxiao.

Neither of them was in the army on the first day, and they were no longer the stunned young people they used to be, although it was the first time they were under Li Cunxiao's account, they were very convinced of Li Cunxiao, who was not obvious before. The battle of Goryeo, the strategy of Western Xia, Li Cunxiao's calm bearing, and high strength made these proud generals admire.

He clearly understands the importance of military law, and although he is anxious, he will never send troops without authorization.

"General, general, want, or let me go, directly, directly smash the city gate!"

In the past 20 days, Li Yuanba was patient at the beginning, but when he got to the back, he also felt that the wait was too boring.

As soon as I entered the big tent today, I immediately said. For these cities in the Western Xia Kingdom, Li Yuanba didn't pay attention to them at all, not to mention the low height of the cities, but the thickness of the city made Li Yuanba look like sand.

It feels like a single charge can make a big hole in the city, and there is no need to waste time here to eat food and eat here.

"In a hurry, the city gate is not that simple. You can go and see it. "

Even Li Yuanba said this, and Li Cunxiao, who was holding the book of war, slowly raised his head and looked around at Li Yuanba, Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Shixin, and Zhao Yun, with a smile on his face.

Li Yuanba is straight, even he is in a hurry, and Luo Shixin and Zhao Yun, who did not speak, will not be able to hold it back.

When the five of them heard Li Cunxiao's words, they were stunned.

Originally, I thought that Li Cunxiao was staying here because he had other plans, but now it seems that it was because the opponent's city gate defense was too strong?

Despite this speculation, the five still didn't say much.

I have been in the barracks for the past two days, and I have long since I faded out of the bird, since Li Cunxiao has said this, I will go to Odo and Les to have a look.

At first, the five of them looked at the city gate, and they didn't see any difference in the city.

It's still so low, and it's still so weak.

"What's that?"

Zhao Yun suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed directly above the city gate, where there seemed to be a row of small holes with a human body, not very conspicuous, but they did exist.

"It's just a hole, what's the matter?"

Lu Bu pursed his lips, feeling that multiple holes were nothing.

"There is a hole in the wall above the city gate, so if we want to break the city, and the hole pours out tung oil and shoots flames, and those who are near the city gate will not get it. "

Regarding Lu Bu's disdain, Zhao Yun didn't say anything, but just said it according to his thoughts.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

The city here is different from the Sui city, as long as you rush to the bottom of the city, the protruding guard tower on the city tower will form a natural eaves, blocking the city gate below.

In other words, as long as the person standing under the city gate will not be attacked by the city, unless there is a certain distance from the city.

"Strange, why do I feel like this city looks a little taller?"

After Zhao Yun woke up, everyone found some peculiarities in this city. Yuwen Chengdu gestured suspiciously, and said affirmatively.

"High?huh?"

Lu Bu originally wanted to laugh at it, this Western Xia city is much lower than Sui City, how can it be called high.

However, after Zhao Yun pointed it out last time, Lu Bu finally understood that the guards of this city were definitely not as simple as they seemed, so he immediately observed carefully, and then recalled.

The Xixia city that he captured before was already a big city in the capital of the Western Xia king.

After careful comparison, the city in front of him is indeed more than a zhang higher than the ordinary Xixia City.

"Yes, there are traps?!"

This time, even Li Yuanba saw that he was tired, Di Qing and Pan Mei, in order to guard Xixia City well, made many arrangements outside the city.

These included the opening of holes in the towers to form two echelons of defense. Immediately dug more than a foot around the city, forming a fortification similar to a 'trench'.

As long as the Sui army attacked the city, it would definitely not be able to break through the city gate in a short time.

And the remaining time can allow the defensive forces organized by Di Qing Panmei to slowly eliminate the Sui army attacking the city.

The more they looked, the more frightened they became, it was the first time they had seen such a method of defending the city. And obviously, this kind of guarding method is very suitable for the Xixia City in front of you.

It is conceivable that if you and others attack, even if you break the city, you will have to pay a huge price.

When a few people returned to the big tent, they did not mention the attack, but frowned, obviously thinking about how to deal with the defense of the Northern Song Dynasty army, Li Cunxiao smiled indifferently, confident, but did not say a way, only left everyone to think together, and read the military book by himself.

At this time, in the two cities of Oduo and Ers, Pan Mei and Di Qing made up their minds from the beginning and held out, just waiting for the Sui army to attack.

Countless fortifications were done, and the method of dealing with them was even sent to dig a deep ditch outside in the middle of the night.

But the Sui army, since it is, did not send troops to attack at all.

For more than 20 days in this company, Li Cunxiao sent troops to surround the two cities of Oduo and Ers, and the two cities of Oduo and Les were very close to each other, but they were forcibly divided by the Sui army.

The two did not meet for more than 20 days in their respective cities, and even sent heralds to each other, none of the letters sent to each other came back, let alone communication with the outside world in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, both of them felt that something was wrong.

Li Cunxiao also wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops in Goryeo and took down the generals of Goryeo, and then the Western Xia Kingdom was also overthrown and returned to Sui.

How could such a general who opened up his territory and expanded his territory not even make a tentative attack once, just surrounded him and did not attack.

Both of them feel the need to reconnect with each other, preferably in person, to hear each other's intentions. Immediately, both sides increased their heralds, trying to get in touch with each other, at least to get a reply.

"What the hell is going on? Why hasn't you replied yet? Could it be that Di Qing's city has been breached?"

For two days in a row, Pan Mei became more and more frightened by this situation.

"General Di Qing hasn't been contacted yet, General, we have been blocked, and now Li Cunxiao has blocked all the passages with the help of the tiger and wolf soldiers, and we have been unable to communicate with the outside world. "

When his subordinates came back to report, they were also stained with sweat.

They have lost nearly 600 heralds, and now in the Northern Song army, when they hear that they are going to recruit heralds, they will be afraid.

It's like a haunting, as long as you get out of the city, there will be no return.

"Not good!"

Pan Mei's face changed drastically, and she immediately stood up.

It occurred to him that something similar had happened before, and it was similar to this.
