Li Shimin, do you really want the people of Fenyang to be buried with you? "
At the foot of Fenyang City, a man was riding on a horse and shouting loudly. If Tang Ping and the others were here, they would definitely recognize that this was the prince who was vomited by the drink last time.
It’s been a while since we last saw this guy, and he’s already put on a suit of armor and is showing off his power in front of the battle line. It does look like that.
"Haha, where did the chickens and dogs come from? Do you really think that with more people, we can take down Guo's Fenyang City?"
The person who answered the question in Fenyang City was named Guo Mingchang. He was originally a member of the judiciary and joined the army. Before Fenyang was besieged, he discovered the conspiracy of the Fenyang prefect to rebel.
He took action decisively, and then handed control of Fenyang City to Li Shimin, and was promoted to the temporary post of Fenyang Prefect.
Relying on his outstanding military talents and reputation in Fenyang City, he organized the entire city's army and civilians to defend the city, and actually withstood the first two rounds of Wang's attacks.
"Hmph, when the city is destroyed, let's see if you can still be so stubborn!"
Zi said harshly.
Taiyuan has been rich in iron ore since ancient times, and the Wang family has always relied on it to make a fortune.
However, after Li Shimin came to power, he not only continued to weaken the influence of the aristocratic families, but also planned to nationalize the development and trading of strategic materials such as salt and iron.
As the saying goes, cutting off a person's financial path is like killing his parents.
The Wang family clearly felt threatened by the Li Tang royal family. Over the years, the amount of iron ore mining they reported was only half of the actual amount. They were secretly building armor and accumulating strength.
There are many bandits in Shanxi, and many of them are secretly cultivated by the Wang family.
This time the Six Route Army attacked the Turks, allowing them to see a glimmer of opportunity.
But because I felt that it was not safe to attack Chang'an, I originally planned to wait.
But who would have known that Li Shimin was so desperate that he actually ran to Fenyang City on his own.
Fenyang City is located southwest of Taiyuan City, only a day's journey away.
This was a God-given opportunity, so the Wang family ordered the Fenyang Prefect who was under their control to capture Li Shimin. They planned to follow Cao Cao's example and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.
Unexpectedly, the matter was not secret, and the Fenyang prefect was defeated and died. But the Wang family's rebellion was also exposed.
If you don't take action now,

When the Six Route Army comes back after finishing off the Turks, it will be their Wang family who will die.
Therefore, the Wang family urgently summoned the bandits under their command, as well as the miners and slaves controlled by them, formed a large army and surrounded Fenyang City.
Guo Chang said that they are chickens and dogs, which is not too wrong, but quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, that is, if there are too many chickens and dogs, then the threat still exists.
Fenyang City was sparsely populated, and there were only a few defenders. In addition, there were only 700 people in any of the government offices. In addition, Guo Chang roped in the guards of some big-name officials in the city, so he only managed to gather a full 1,000 people.
Including the two thousand Yulin guards who followed Li Shimin to Fenyang, there were only three thousand soldiers.
He also promised huge profits and surrounded thousands of people in the city, so he could barely hold on to the city.
But as time goes on and people in the city change their minds, it will be dangerous.
Zi was usually in Taiyuan, and of course he knew exactly what was going on in Fenyang City, so he turned his horse's head, returned to the formation, and ordered the army to attack the city.
Even though their Wang family's army is composed of a mob, its equipment is indeed good. After all, many of the equipment of the official army in the past were made by them, and there was a lot of confusion in this.
So now it seems that he is quite sharp, something like that.
It's a pity that large siege equipment is difficult to hide, so the Wang family did not build it in advance. Now they can only use ladders and rams to attack the city.
"Your Majesty, the city is in danger, please stay away for now!" Seeing that the Wang family had begun to attack the city again, Guo Chang quickly asked Li Shimin to give way.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin directly picked up a big gun and beat it to the ground: "I, Li Shimin, have gone through hundreds of battles. I have never retreated against the Sui Dynasty, I have not retreated against Dou Jiande, and I have never retreated against the Turks Jili. These thieves and bandits Bandits, that’s not enough.”
As he spoke, he pointed his gun at the dense crowd of rebels rushing down below and said, "Will you all join me in defeating these bandits?"
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Both the civilian husbands and the city guards shouted in unison.
The impact on morale is naturally different between rushing against me and rushing against me, not to mention that this is an emperor who is usually aloof.
For a time, the morale of the Fenyang defenders was greatly boosted, and they did not panic at all even when facing the rebels coming up like a tide.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Under the command of Li Shimin and Guo Chang, a tug-of-war started at the top of the city.
"Speed up to me, give me up! Who can capture Fenyang and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses!"
The disciples roared below. Before attacking the city, they put their best hands on various roads, trying to intercept and kill the messengers asking for help, but two of them ran away.
So he also knew that although the situation was excellent now, there was not much time left for them. Once the army attacking the Turks turned back, or Hou Junji of Chang'an received the news, they might face catastrophe.
Perhaps Zi's encouragement worked, and the rebels desperately began to attack Fenyang City.
Although Fenyang City is now united as one, there are too few people after all, and it is always difficult to defend three walls at the same time.
Seeing more and more rebels on the city wall, killing them all, even Li Shimin's face darkened slightly.
At this moment, the rebels shouted angrily: "Who dares to stop me!"
A tower-like warrior led the way, with two pumpkin hammers in his hands, which would kill him if he touched them, and hurt him if he touched them.
Behind him was a team of elite cavalry, who used him as a sharp knife to break through the rebel team and plunge straight into the rebel center.
"Stop him!"
"Stop him!"
Zi did not expect such a fierce man to appear out of nowhere, shouting desperately: "Set the arrows, shoot the arrows for me, don't care whether there are any of your own people, shoot the arrows for me, shoot him to death!"
"Hmph!" The man grabbed a rebel beside him and blocked him in front of him, but his attack slowed down.
The Chinese army's defense was too tight before, and when he saw that they could not rush in, he shouted angrily: "Enter the city!"
Then he turned around and led his team of fine cavalry to kill at the city gate again.
The rebels who were attacking the city were suddenly attacked from behind. They could only turn around to defend, and the attack on the city was slowed down.
The Fenyang defenders on the city wall regained their composure and finally cleared away all the rebels who had climbed up to the top of the city!
"Open the city gate!" Li Shimin shouted happily as he watched several fierce generals rushing back and forth under the city.
Zi didn't expect such a fierce man to come out of nowhere, and his army was smashed to pieces by hundreds of heavy cavalry. He had no choice but to give up the attack, and then asked doubtfully: "Who is that man?" who?"
