It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 871Chang'an City is already turbulent, and it is gradually becoming a stranger.

Li Letian is also exhausted and unable to support.

The Rong clan did not hesitate to attack the city, testing the bottom line of Chang'an City, and at the same time, also testing Li Letian's body.

Touring the city, defending the city, instructing memorials, and dealing with major events and small affairs in the city...

There are times when the siege of the Rong clan has stopped, but for Li Letian, since the beginning of this battlefield, there has never been a truce, all the time.

.

Li Letian is not always an iron body.

He is so arrogant day and night, his body is getting worse and worse.

He quietly called the imperial doctor to see it, and the situation was not optimistic.

It was not the first time that he had coughed up blood.

His family knew about his family affairs, but the current Chang'an City could not bear any accident, and Li Letian kept it a secret.

The little eunuch behind him had an unbearable look on his face.

He took a step forward, poured the hot tea, and said in a low voice:"Your Majesty, it's important to take care of your health.

"Li Letian nodded and waved again: "Call the guards in.

""Yes.

"The little eunuch didn't know what to do, walked out the door and called two guards into the hall.

Li Letian didn't raise his head, just pointed at the little eunuch at will, and said, "Pull it down and behead it.

"The little eunuch widened his eyes in astonishment, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted for His Majesty's life.

From the beginning to the end, Li Letian didn't look up, still thinking about the report on the memorial.

The guards pulled the little eunuch out of the hall, and he could hear his voice from a distance.

After that, the voice gradually disappeared and everything was quiet.

Li Letian took a sip of the hot tea before letting out a soft sigh.

There are countless eunuchs like this in the palace, and soon, another person will serve Li Letian.

Pour tea and water, careful and quiet, when he is needed, he will always appear in time.

But when he is not needed, he is as if he does not exist.

On the second day, the Rong tribe launched a new round of siege.

Li Letian was dressed neatly and personally boarded the city gate to direct the battle.

The game between the two sides sieging and defending the city has been going on for more than a day, and they already know each other's fighting styles very well.

It is nothing more than that the siege side dispatched trebuchets, siege vehicles, wooden ladders, and rope walls, and the defending side used rolling wood, boulders, and bows and arrows.

Up to now, the lives of each other's casualties add up, and almost a city can be piled up.

Therefore, when Li Letian went into battle, it was mostly to improve morale.

When he was in battle, everyone already performed their own duties, and Li Letian did not need to give too many orders.

The first battle was more intense than the first.

The Rong tribe climbed to the top of the city several times.

Although they were suppressed, they also caused many casualties.

This was a rare occurrence in the past, and it was obvious that Chang'an City could no longer support it.

In the continuous fierce battle, Li Letian is also running out of fuel, and the physical strength and fighting spirit of the soldiers defending the city are declining.

Add in all kinds of illnesses, disabilities, all kinds of factors that add up to destroy everything.

Luo Yi and Luo Cheng assisted Li Letian.

Both of them were good at their abilities, especially Luo Cheng, who was even more juvenile and eager to have a face-to-face battle with the Rong tribe.

However, in a head-to-head confrontation, the Rong tribe has the title of No.

1 in the field.

Therefore, he had to be trapped in this city, and his abilities were restricted and could not be used.

"Your Majesty, come and see.

" Luo Yi suddenly said.

Li Letian looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the Rong clan pushing out two towers from a distance.

The entire tower is made of wood and is about 30 feet high, which is much higher than the city wall of Chang'an City.

There is a platform on it, which can accommodate thirty people to shoot arrows on it.

The foundation of the tower is a huge wooden wheel, which is pushed by countless people close to the city wall.

Li Letian was taken aback.

The Rong tribe had used this method to attack the city before.

But never had such a tall tower been erected.

If they are allowed to get close to the city wall and clear an area, the Rong soldiers can swagger and break into the city.

No one knows when the Rong tribe will be able to break through the city.

Maybe a year from now, maybe today.

Li Letian raised his spirits and said, "Luo Cheng, you must destroy the tower, and do not allow them to get close to the city wall.

""Yes.

"Luo Cheng agreed and showed the energy to fight to the death.

At present, only the bed crossbow on the city wall can molest the tower, and it must be destroyed with the bed crossbow before it gets close to the city wall.

The Rong tribe's siege momentum was even stronger, to stop Luo Cheng's actions.

Luo Cheng, draped in his body, commanded hoarsely, destroying a tower at any cost.

However, the second tower was close to the city wall, and the Rong archers above were firing arrows at the same time, and the Rong trebuchets were also attacking in the same direction.

In a certain area, the Imperial Army suffered no casualties, and even Luo Cheng was shot in the shoulder.

If they take advantage of the situation, Chang'an City will be destroyed.

Li Letian was so anxious at the moment, he shouted in his mouth.

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow rushed out from the city head, directly stuck on the platform at the top of the tower, and instantly knocked down a large group of people.

"Okay.

" Li Letian snorted: "Who moved the hand?

""Your Majesty, it's General Lu Junyi.

""Lu Junyi?

" Li Letian was both familiar and unfamiliar with this name.

Lu Junyi personally instructed the bed crossbow to fire three arrows in a row, clearing the archers on the platform.

The Rong tribe had no tower to cover, and the momentum of the siege gradually receded.

The siege continued until dusk, and the Rong clan called Jin to withdraw their troops.

The soldiers at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief, and some of the exhausted fell to the ground, exhausted, but also somewhat relieved.

Everyone finally made it through the day.

But in the eyes of some discerning people, the mood is definitely not the secret joy after the war.

Today, the Rong tribe dispatched two towers, which has brought great pressure to the city defense of Chang'an City.

If they attack the city another day, what if they send ten or a hundred?

The Rong people are not short of manpower, and there is no shortage of trees near Chang'an, and now they have the absolute initiative.

However, Chang'an City is in a passive state, and there are not many paths to choose from.

People with discerning eyes can understand: the Rong family has mastered the method of breaking the city, and the remaining days of Chang'an City are numbered.

After the war, Li Letian came to Lu Junyi's side.

Lu Junyi was dressing the wound and fell to his knees with a thud: "My subordinate Lu Junyi, see Your Majesty.

""General Lu, please get up, please get up quickly.

" Li Letian personally picked up Lu Junyi: "Thanks to Lu Junyi's lack of chaos today, he was able to destroy the offensive of the Rong clan.

Who did General Lu work under before?

"Only then did Lu Junyi get up and said, "My subordinates came from Liangzhou with Lord Baili.

"Li Letian sighed, Liangzhou is such a talented person, Lu Junyi just walked from Liangzhou, and he is so amazing.

"Marquis Baili is also a loyal minister of the empire, but unfortunately, he was poisoned by the bad guys.

" Li Letian said to Lu Junyi, "It's just that I buried the hero, come here, seal the general Lu and break the captive general, and reward the jade belt.

"
