same day.

Li Chengqian asked the army to collect sky fire thunder and send it to his camp.

Later, Li Chengqian also closed his door and did not come out of the tent for several days.

All military affairs were left to Chang Sun Chong, and food and other things were sent in by Cheng Hualiang.

By the time he walked out of the military tent, it was already three days later.

On the day he came out, Li Chengqian summoned all the generals of the army to the central military tent to discuss matters.

The first words Li Chengqian opened his mouth were.

"Order the entire army to reorganize."

"Tomorrow morning, I will attack the city."

After hearing this, the generals were also a little confused.

Didn't you agree that you won't attack the city if it is consumed? Why do you want to attack the city again today?

Cheng Huailiang was also a little confused and asked: "Your Highness, do you mean to attack the city as a feint or to fight to the death?"

"Of course it's a fight to the death."

Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "Since I took command of the Liangzhou Army, I have never been delayed by the enemy for more than ten days in a siege."

"But this time we attacked Yizhou City, and there was no progress at all for half a month."

"Although Yizhou City has high and thick walls and other reasons, this is not a reason or responsibility that you and I can shirk."

"And today is the fifteenth day. From now on, everyone should not think about anything else."

"Tomorrow's battle will be the final battle."

"If we can't capture Yizhou City tomorrow..."

Li Chengqian said with determination in his eyes: "I will immediately resign as commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou Army, and you will all leave the Liangzhou Army."

Hearing this, everyone was also filled with horror.

The price is a bit too high.

Even if Li Chengqian resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou Army, he would still be the prince and could still take charge of the Liangzhou Army.

But they are different.

If they leave the Liangzhou Army, they will basically have nowhere to go.

They can't leave their hometown and go somewhere else, right?

You know, the city defense of Yizhou City is no joke.

They had tried so many times before, and every time they couldn't even reach the city defenses, so they had to withdraw.

Is this time any different from usual?

Changsun Chong also felt that something was wrong.

So he cupped his hands towards Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit..."

"Shut up!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and interrupted him.

He said: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it on the battlefield."

After he finished speaking, he looked straight at Cheng Hualiang and said, "Cheng Hualiang!"

"The end will be here."

"What's my name? Seize the opportunity and lead the Tanma Battalion to attack the weak spot of the enemy's southern city wall."

"There are things I have prepared for you in the back. Bring all those things to me."

Li Chengqian stretched out a finger and said, "I only have one request. You must hang that pile of things on the city wall no matter what. Do you understand?"

"The general will obey..."

Cheng Huailiang did not hesitate at all and immediately intervened.

Then, Li Chengqian set his sights on Changsun Chong.

He said: "Changsun Chong obeys the order."

"The end will be here."

"I order you to lead eight thousand sword and shield men, throw away all the obstructing baggage, and wait for Huai Liang outside the city."

"Once Huai Liang succeeds, we must follow up as quickly as possible and rush into the city."

Li Chengqian directly ordered: "At the very least, we must resist the enemy's counterattack before our rear troops arrive."

"As commanded."

Changsun Chong responded subconsciously.

Then, he realized something was wrong and quickly looked up at Li Chengqian, his eyes full of doubts.

What does he mean?

Could it be that His Highness has thought of some way to destroy the walls of Yizhou City?

its not right.

His Highness just brought some sky fire thunder.

And they have already tried those sky fire thunders, but there is no way to cause actual damage to the city wall.

Could it be that he has any other options?

However, Li Chengqian did not give him a chance to ask more questions.

He said directly to everyone: "To be honest with you, Tan Ma has come to report this morning. An elite team of more than 10,000 people from the Shu Army will arrive at Yizhou City in less than three days."

"In this way, the troops and horses owned by Yizhou City will be superior to our army, or even close to twice that of our army."

"So, now we have reached the most urgent moment."

"If we don't break through Yizhou City, our army will probably fall into endless siege by the enemy."

"Maybe, our army will lose all the advantages it gained in the early stage."

"So, I hope that you will do your best in tomorrow's siege and win the city."

Li Chengqian looked at the crowd and said, "If anyone dares to take a step back or withdraw from the battlefield first, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship..."

After hearing this, what else can the generals say?

At that moment, everyone bowed and responded: "Yes..."



Vertical sun.

Twenty thousand Liangzhou troops formed a battle formation outside Yizhou City.

Amidst the sound of war drums and horns, Zhenguan cannons were pushed out first.

Li Chengqian personally led the artillery troops forward, and there were three thousand soldiers on each side as guards.

Among them, there are still a hundred spies from the Tanma Camp hidden among them.

In addition to the standard equipment, these spies each held a cloth bag in their arms.

This thing is nothing else, it is a broken weapon developed by Li Chengqian.

To put it bluntly, this thing is the so-called explosive bag...

General Li Chengqian dismantled all the sky fire thunders, then gathered all the gunpowder together and made hundreds of simple explosive bags.

But this thing is indeed much more powerful than the Sky Fire Thunder.

If used properly, he believed that this thing could definitely destroy the city wall of Yizhou...

Li Chengqian's attitude is already obvious.

That is if I can't get Yizhou City, then I will blow it up.

At this moment, the Liangzhou Army's military formation had advanced to a position 800 steps away from the city wall.

Following Li Chengqian's order, the team just stopped.

The artillery team also began to clear obstacles and arrange artillery positions at this moment.

The current distance is the most embarrassing for the Shu army.

As mentioned before, due to Li Ke's rebellion, he did not receive the latest supplies from the court.

The new Zhenguan cannon can shoot further than the original Zhenguan, with a difference of at least two hundred steps.

Once upon a time, the guys at Qutang Pass and Jianmen Pass suffered a loss because of this, and now it's Li Ke's turn.

At such a distance, Li Chengqian's cannon could easily hit the city wall or even the city.

But the Shu army in the city could only watch the opponent's artillery fire into their own camp, while their own weapons could not touch the opponent at all.

And this feeling is quite uncomfortable, just like waiting to die.

In particular, they found that today's Liangzhou Army seemed to be more terrifying than usual.

The Liangzhou army before had feigned attacks, firing a few cannons and then leaving.

But things are different now. These Liangzhou soldiers are filled with a murderous aura.

That aura was like meeting a hungry wolf in the wild, as if he might be torn to pieces and eaten by the other party at any time.

And, that's nothing.

They also discovered that the artillery launched by the Liangzhou Army today was much more than before.

Even a slightly smarter general can see this.

Today, the Liangzhou Army is not here to pretend to attack, but to use their real skills...
