The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 286 The Shocked Old Dukes
In the next few days, Li Chengqian stayed in Liangzhou City to recuperate.By the way, wait for Li Jing and Xu Maogong to come in the army.

After all, now that Li Chengqian has less than 4 horses in his hands, he naturally dare not march in the direction of Ganzhou.Otherwise, it would be no different from death.

Although the night attack on the enemy army in Liangzhou City won a complete victory, Li Chengqian would not be so arrogant that he felt that he could win every battle.

The reason for the successful night attack is the surprise, coupled with the rainstorm pear flower crossbow led by the four elephant guards.Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such a record.

Of course, the gasoline that Li Chengqian bought in the grocery store played a crucial role.It's just that the price of gasoline is not cheap.

Otherwise, even if Kurubul is defeated, the opponent's casualties are absolutely impossible to be so large.And the casualties on one's own side may even double.

Now that Kurubur has retreated into Ganzhou City, with the city wall as a cover, the situation is different.It can even be said that the forms of the two sides have been reversed.

The side that originally attacked the city became the side that defended the city, and the side that defended the city wanted to attack the city.Moreover, there are tens of thousands of Tang people in the city.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Li Chengqian to set fire to Ganzhou City frantically.And even if Li Chengqian wanted to do this, he might not be able to do it.

……

A few days later, Li Jing and Xu Maogong came to Liangzhou City with a large army. They originally thought that Liangzhou City should be besieged by heavy troops.

But when they came to Liangzhou City, they didn't even see a single enemy soldier.This inevitably made Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong look at each other in blank dismay.

"I said big old black, didn't I mean that the coalition forces of Tubo and Western Turks are attacking Liangzhou City? But how come my old Cheng didn't even see a person the size of a rabbit?" Cheng Yaojin asked Yuchi Gonggong .

"Could it be that he was beaten away by those boys?" Yu Chigong said.

"Talking about Big Old Hei, did you take the wrong medicine? With the tens of thousands of horses in the hands of that kid, it's not bad to be able to defend Liangzhou City."

"Do you still want to drive away hundreds of thousands of other people's troops? You really think that they are all reborn gods of war." Cheng Yaojin said after curling his mouth.

"That's true. I'm a few of us old fellows here. It might not be easy to defeat him. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to conquer several cities." Yu Chigong nodded and said.

At this time, Li Chengqian had already led the crowd out of the city gate, and when he saw Li Jing, he stepped forward to salute and said: Master, you are here. "

Li Jing returned a salute to Li Chengqian and said, "Marshal, why did the Tubo and Western Turkic coalition forces suddenly disappear? Could it be that they have withdrawn their troops?"

"Father, they didn't withdraw their troops by themselves. They were made dumplings by the marshal. Only a few tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of troops fled back." Li Deju said to Li Jing with a ostentatious face.

"Your boy has been with the prince for a few days, and you have learned to talk nonsense. With your 5 troops, you still want to defeat hundreds of thousands of other troops. You really think that the two countries' coalition forces are just paper." Yuchi Gongda He pursed his mouth and said.

"Father, you're really wrong this time. We really only have 5 horses. Beat the shit out of them." Yuchi Baolin said to Yuchi Gong with a smile.

"Get out, don't dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will cut you off." Yuchi Gong said after giving Yuchi Baolin a hard look.

"Everyone, don't believe it, because what they said is true. The commander took advantage of the night to send out a surprise attack, and came to set fire to the company camp."

"In the end, I used the Pear Blossom Crossbow in the rainstorm to defeat the opponent. Seventy to eighty percent of the hundreds of thousands of troops were lost. It's just that my commander also lost tens of thousands of troops." Li Chengqian said.

"What did you say, you really broke the hundreds of thousands of allied forces of Tubo and Western Turks with 5 horses?" Li Jing said to Li Chengqian in disbelief.

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, and then said to Li Jing: "This is not a place to talk, let's talk slowly in the city before it's too late."

Then Li Chengqian brought Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others into Liangzhou City.The brigade set up camp outside Liangzhou City.After all, the city cannot accommodate so many people.

……

"What are you talking about, there is still an unquenchable fire under the sky? Do you think I, Cheng Yaojin, look like a fool?" Cheng Yaojin said to Li Chengqian with a disbelieving expression.

Li Chengqian smiled, and then said to Jiang Chengzu who was beside him: "Go get an oil jar and show it to Lu Guogong in person, whether this commander is exaggerating."

After Jiang Chengzu let out a sigh, he turned and left, and came back with a gasoline jar not long after.And smashed the gasoline jar directly in the courtyard.

Then a torch was thrown on top of the gasoline, and a raging fire ignited in the courtyard in an instant.And Jiang Chengzu ordered people to pour water to put out the fire.

The result made Cheng Yaojin dumbfounded, he couldn't believe it was true no matter what.So he said to Li Chengqian in surprise: "Where did you get this thing?"

"I bought it from a Western Region merchant before I left Chang'an City. But the quantity is limited, and now there are only a few dozen left." Li Chengqian said helplessly.

Li Chengqian didn't dare to let Cheng Yaojin know how many gasoline jars he wanted.As long as you have enough cheat points.

Just when Cheng Yaojin shook his head and sighed, Xu Mao said openly to Li Chengqian: "Just now I heard what the Marshal said about the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow. I don't know what this Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow is?"

"I knew you would ask, so I ordered someone to push the rainstorm pear flower farmer here." Li Chengqian smiled and said to a wooden box with wheels on the opposite side.

This made Xu Maogong and others surround him, but no matter how he looked at him, he couldn't find any difference.

Because this is just a wooden box more than one meter high and one foot wide, with a wheel underneath.There is nothing special about the rest.

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded to Jiang Chengzu, and Jiang Chengzu came behind the pear blossom crossbow in the rainstorm.Then he opened his mouth and said: "Ministers of the state, give way, and the last general will show it to you."

After finishing speaking, he adjusted the direction of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow.Finally, he pressed the mechanism against a wall.

As Jiang Chengzu pressed the switch, the original wooden box suddenly changed.The frontmost plank suddenly flipped downwards.Then one by one javelins stretched out from the wooden box.

At this time, Jiang Chengzu pressed the mechanism again, and those javelins flew out of the rainstorm pear flower crossbow instantly.In the blink of an eye, the opposite wall was riddled with holes.

This time Cheng Yaojin was completely dumbfounded, he came to the wall in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand to pull out the javelin.It doesn't matter if you pull it out, Cheng Yaojin was shocked.

It turned out that these javelins penetrated more than three inches into the strong.In the end Cheng Yaojin took a lot of effort to pull out one.
